non-ASCII characters in directory names

Hi all,

I am rather new to all of this, so I hope my question is not too stupid.

I have a problem with directory or file names which consist not only of ASCII-characters (German umlaute ä ö ü for example). In xterm the characters are displayed wrong and auto-completion with the tab-key produces some backslashes with numbers instead (\314\210 instead of ä), but still I can access them. Matlab, which requires X11 to run, is totally unable to work with any of these files or directories, however. It simply says that the directory does not exist.

Is there any solution to this?

I am glad for all hints you can give.
